SWIFTAlliance Gateway Remote API (RA) is a software package that establishes a communication link with the RA Host Adapter component of SWIFTAlliance Gateway, either from a SWIFTNet application existing on a remote computer or from a SWIFTNet application existing on the computer where SWIFTAlliance Gateway is installed.
Using Remote API, applications developed to run directly on top of SNL software can use SWIFTAlliance Gateway transparently as a concentrator for their SWIFTNet traffic, thereby implementing the single window concept RA offers two sets of APIs: SWIFTNet Link specific, and SWIFTAlliance Gateway specific. Message flow, from an RA instance to SWIFTAlliance Gateway, is managed by the Remote API Host Adapter (RAHA), a sub-component of SWIFTAlliance Gateway’s Application Interface (AI).
